Washington: Singer Chris Martin has reportedly hit a photographer with his jeep.

The father of two went to restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica with his former wife Gwyneth Paltrow and their two children, Apple and Moses. While leaving the restaurant, a photographer ran to Martin`s car and was allegedly struck by his jeep, reports tmz.com.

An ambulance was then called and the photographer was rushed to hospital.

However, the website has suggested that there is something weird about the incident as a second photographer took images of the alleged altercation from across the street -- a position they wouldn`t need to be in as most photographers are able to stand right outside the eatery.

Also, the photographer who clicked the images of the incident was the only one to have them even when there were three other photographers present there.

When the injured photographer was wheeled away by the officer, he looked directly at the other photographer who clicked images of the incident.
